It wasn't so much cool (though admittedly a fire that lasts decades is cool) as it was a town of almost legendary status. They based a video game on it even. Protoclown wrote an entire piece on the place. It isn't the town itself going away that is sad, it is that a legendary fixture of middle America (albeit an esoteric one) is going away.
